I was assaulted last December by being thrown face first to ground. Every piece of my nose and septum was broken. It was reconstructed but I am unhappy with results. Should I go with same doctor since he got my nose close after all the trauma? Should I look for another doctor? The following pictures are: current nose, photoshop envisioned results, and nose before. Is it possible to get close to my previous nose? What should I ask for specifically to achieve these results in consultation?

Answer: The changes you simulated are possible. More ... You narrowed the bridge some (makes sense that it would look wider after the fracture), and you also narrowed the tip. Narrowing the tip is working on the two cartilages that form the tip of the nose, and they probably weren't damaged in the trauma, because you just about need a huge laceration into the tip to make that kind of damage happen. But that tip narrowing should be possible, too. The operation, to the surgeon, would look like part reconstruction (getting the previously-fractured bones in the upper bridge in better position) and part regular rhinoplasty (because the work on the tip would look to the surgeon like the findings and procedures in a regular cosmetic rhinoplasty). So you select your surgeon as if you were never injured, but are looking for an excellent rhinoplasty surgeon.
